MIB Transfer from the IETF to the IEEE 802.3 WG
Abstract
This document records the transfer of responsibility for the
Ethernet-related MIB modules DOT3-OAM-MIB, SNMP-REPEATER-MIB,
POWER-ETHERNET-MIB, DOT3-EPON-MIB, EtherLike-MIB, EFM-CU-MIB,
ETHER-WIS, and MAU-MIB from the IETF to the IEEE 802.3 Working Group
(WG). This document also describes the procedures associated with
the transfer in a similar way to how RFC 4663 records the transfer of
the IETF Bridge MIB work to the IEEE 802.1 WG.

1. Introduction
[RFC4663], published in September 2006, described a plan for
transferring responsibility for four MIB modules related to bridges
from the IETF to IEEE 802.1. Some years later, responsibility for
eight more MIB modules was transferred from the IETF Ethernet
Interfaces and Hub MIB (hubmib) WG to the IEEE 802.3 WG. The MIB
modules concerned are tabulated below (Section 2). [RFC4663] clearly
enunciates the motivation for both transfers and also provides an
introduction to IEEE standardization procedures. The discussions of
those topics will not be repeated here.
The IEEE version of this second lot of transferred MIB modules was
published as 802.3.1-2011 in February 2011. The IEEE 802.3.1
specification was subsequently updated. The latest version, IEEE
802.3.1-2013 [IEEE802.3.1-2013], is the basis for this document.

This section tabulates the MIB modules that were transferred to IEEE
802.3, identifying the IETF source document, the corresponding clause
of [IEEE802.3.1-2013], and the location of the MIB itself in ASCII
format.
